I have found an absolutely wonderful book, that if you can get a copy of it is well worth adding to your birdie library. It is called "Holistic Care for Birds - A Manual of Wellness and Healing" by David McCluggage, DVM. It was copywritten in 1999 so is fairly recent and contains information about the emotional and physiological aspects of bird care as well as nutrition (even recipes you can cook and eat yourself as well as feed to your birds - makes it easier to justify cooking, doesn't it?) and homeopathic treatments. Even if you don't go for homeopathy or natural treatments, the information in the first part of the book alone is wonderful. I'd at least recommend trying to find it in your library and checking it out to see if you think it's worth the purchase.

 

Has anyone else read it?

Sounds great, where do I find it?

 

Oh, I just see you mentioned the library. Thanks for the suggestion! I need new reading material.

I ordered it, but you might be able to find it in the bookstores. I've also seen it at bird fairs, if you ever go to any of those you might look there also.
